NC21 PM First Highlights Engl Press contact Isabelle Mathes Phone: +49 69 8477 6567 [email protected] NipponConnection.com Press Release, April 1, 2021 Nippon Connection Film Festival Goes Hybrid! First Program Highlights June 1–6, 2021 / online and (hopefully) in Frankfurt, Germany / more than 100 films from Japan / varied supporting program The 21st Japanese Film Festival Nippon Connection is planned as a hybrid event and is scheduled for June 1 to 6, 2021. The event is expected to take place online and at a few selected venues in the city of Frankfurt am Main. On six days, the world’s largest festival for Japanese cinema presents a selection of over 100 current Japanese short and feature-length films. All films will be available via video on demand. In addition, several filmmakers will participate in online discussions and interviews live from Japan. Digital workshops, lectures, performances, and concerts complement the program. Due to uncertainties regarding the further progression of the pandemic and associated regulations, planning the festival is extremely difficult. The organizing team of the Nippon Connection film festival is hopeful, however, that it will be possible to offer on-site cinema as well. “Film festivals always live from shared moments in the cinema and the film experience on the big screen”, festival director Marion Klomfass emphasizes. In June 2020, the festival already took place online and set a new audience record with over 25,400 viewers. The digital format offered new possibilities to the audience. Also this year, many viewers outside of Frankfurt will be able to watch contemporary Japanese films. Film highlights Many of the films celebrate their German or European premiere at the Nippon Connection film festival. The program includes everything from blockbusters and arthouse to animation and music films. This year’s focus is dedicated to Family Matters – The Japanese Family Between Tradition And Modernity and is supported by the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain. It includes films like Family Of Strangers by Hideyuki Hirayama, dealing with dark family abysses and the bliss of finding a substitute family. The low-key tragicomedy tells the story of three quite different characters living in a psychiatric ward, who find emotional backing in each other – until misfortune hits them again. The drama Under The Open Sky by female director Miwa Nishikawa continues where other films end, featuring character actor and Nippon Honor Award winner Koji Yakusho at his best: As an ex-convict he encounters helping hands but also obstacles. It is a film about what family can mean to someone. The documentary film Me And The Cult Leader looks at the Aum sect, which carried out the poison gas attack in the Tokyo subway in 1995. Director Atsushi Sakahara, who was Nippon Connection e.V. • c/o Atelierfrankfurt • Raum 5.08 • Schwedlerstraße 1-5 • D-60314 Frankfurt am Main Phone +49 (0)69 8477 6567 • Fax +49 (0)69 8477 6566 [email protected] • NipponConnection.com Press contact Isabelle Mathes Phone: +49 69 8477 6567 [email protected] NipponConnection.com exposed to the toxic gas then, engages in a deeply personal dialogue with a member of the successor sect “Aleph” about the past, family, and their inner demons. Red Post On Escher Street, the new film by cult director Sion Sono, is a humorous and biting panorama of the film industry, with the extras ending up hijacking the film set. Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s melodrama To The Ends Of The Earth was completely filmed on location in Uzbekistan. For the young TV reporter Yoko the stay abroad turns into a journey to herself. In the musical comedy Can’t Stop The Dancing by Shinobu Yaguchi, Shizuka can’t help bursting out in song and dance whenever she hears music, and thus stumbles from one ludicrous situation to another. The Day Of The Destruction by Toshiaki Toyoda will be screened as a German premiere. A young ascetic wants to set the world free from a monster called epidemic. With powerful visuals, a strong soundtrack and humor, the director captures the feelings of a generation between anger, powerlessness and the desire to feel alive. The festival also features another film by Toshiaki Toyoda: Shiver presents the famous Taiko group KODO together with avant-garde musician Koshiro Hino. Following the rhythm of the elements, the film creates an intertwining of musical performances and mythical scenes laden with sound. The extraordinary debut Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes by Junta Yamaguchi, with actors from the famous comedy theater troupe Europe Kikaku, celebrates its German premiere at the festival. In this film, the director transfers the time travel paradox to a charming, small coffee shop and flips through the narration so entertainingly, you do not even get mixed up with the continuously changing levels of time. A Japanese film festival without animation films would be impossible: This year, the Nippon Connection Film Festival presents, among others, the German premiere of the anime Seven Days War by Yuta Murano. On a summer trip, Aya and her friends discover a shut-down coal plant. This leads to an adventure bigger than they had ever expected, showing them what friendship is all about. A varied supporting program In addition to the film program, a diverse range of workshops, lectures, concerts, and performances invites visitors to explore the fascinating culture of Japan. Most of the events in the Nippon Culture program are expected to take place via Zoom and live stream. Join in and try out online cooking classes, as well as whiskey and sake tastings, manga drawing workshops, a Japanese course with film clips and much more. The cult event Nippon Heimkino will also take place online again this year: Underground director Jörg Buttgereit and film scholar Marcus Stiglegger will comment live on a gem of Japanese trash cinema from their couch at home. At the Nippon Online Market, various vendors will present handicrafts, Japanese delicacies, and other selected Japan-related products.

Yoshi Oida est un acteur hors du commun. Né à Kobe en 1933, il a dédié sa vie aux théâtres du monde entier, en ayant pour seule ligne de conduite de renoncer à la facilité. Son apprentissage commence au Japon : il est initié au théâtre Nô par les plus grands maîtres de l’école Okura. De cette expérience, il retirera l’importance de l’harmonie entre tous les éléments qui constituent l’outil principal du comédien : son corps. Puis en 1968 Yoshi Oida est invité à Paris par Jean-Louis Barrault pour travailler avec Peter Brook. Il fonde avec ce dernier le Centre International de Recherche Théâtrale (CIRT). Au contact du « magicien du théâtre européen », il apprend que le comédien doit être « un vent léger, qui devenant de plus en plus fort, doit allumer une flamme et la faire grandir ». Aux côtés du maître, il apprend également la mise en scène, métier qui l’occupe énormément aujourd’hui. Il sillonne alors le monde à la recherche de la maîtrise théâtrale la plus complète, apprenant les jeux Africains, Indien, Persan. Il s’interroge sur la frontière entre la scène et la vie de tous les jours : « Qu’ai-je appris sur la scène qui pourrait m’aider à vivre ma vie d’homme ordinaire ? ».

A Season of Japanese Films by Contemporary Japanese Auteurs 10 February – 28 March 2012 : 7 venues in 7 cities in the UK I Just Didn‟t Do It, Dir Masayuki Suo, Japan, 2007 Following last year‟s successful Back To the Future: Japanese Cinema since the mid-90s season, this year‟s Japan Foundation touring film programme looks at narrative creativity in Japanese cinema, showcasing directors both young and emerging, such as Miwa Nishikawa and Takatsugu Naito, and the more established, such as Masayuki Suo (the director best-known for Shall We Dance). In recent years, Japanese cinema has been dominated by generic spin offs of media such as TV shows and manga, to generate an audience based on a pre-existing market. The nine films that have been chosen for this season however clearly demonstrate in fact the wealth of original writing and creativity evident in recent Japanese cinema. Having successfully forged and retained their own identities within what is one of the largest film markets in the world, these directors reject the “safe” formulaic film model and instead choose to pursue their own methods of expressing themselves through film. Audiences will be able to hear the individual directors‟ voices, whilst also being exposed to characteristics and techniques of some of the best examples of auteur directors from Japan. The film season is produced and organised by The Japan Foundation, and supported by the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.

  • PAJ77/No.03 Chin-C
    AIN’T NO SUNSHINE The Cinema in 2003 Larry Qualls and Daryl Chin s 2003 came to a close, the usual plethora of critics’ awards found themselves usurped by the decision of the Motion Picture Producers Association of A America to disallow the distribution of screeners to its members, and to any organization which adheres to MPAA guidelines (which includes the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences). This became the rallying cry of the Independent Feature Project, as those producers who had created some of the most notable “independent” films of the year tried to find a way to guarantee visibility during award season. This issue soon swamped all discussions of year-end appraisals, as everyone, from critics to filmmakers to studio executives, seemed to weigh in with an opinion on the matter of screeners. Yet, despite this media tempest, the actual situation of film continues to be precarious. As an example, in the summer of 2003 the distribution of films proved even more restrictive, as theatres throughout the United States were block-booked with the endless cycle of sequels that came from the studios (Legally Blonde 2, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, Terminator 3, The Matrix Revolutions, X-2: X-Men United, etc.). A number of smaller films, such as the nature documentary Winged Migration and the New Zealand coming-of-age saga Whale Rider, managed to infiltrate the summer doldrums, but the continued conglomeration of distribution and exhibition has brought the motion picture industry to a stultifying crisis. And the issue of the screeners was the rallying cry for those working on the fringes of the industry, the “independent” producers and directors and small distributors.
